Efficient Plaster Anchorage Diamond Metal Lath For Exterior and Interior Walls
Engineered as a biaxial shear grid with micro-arc oxidized anchors perpendicular to plaster flow, this diamond lath boosts tensile adhesion by 70% for cementitious skins over brittle substrates (e.g., AAC blocks or old masonry)—eliminating hollow spots in interior partition walls and shrinkage cracks on EIFS-clad parapets. Its patented dimple-leg system penetrates insulation barriers securely without vapor compromise while tapered struts redirect impact energy from corridor trolleys in healthcare retrofits, passing ASTM C1577 cyclic delamination thresholds at -40°F freezer facilities. UL Fire Classified for plenum installations behind gypsum, the G90 duplex coating withstands alkaline exposure in interior pool decks.
Drywall contractors installing Level 5 finishes and prefabricated panel fabricators standardize this profile when anchoring veneer plasters over steel stud cavities where vibration causes fastener "pop-outs." Laser-stitched joints prevent corner wire pull-through during troweling, slashing remediation labor by 45 minutes per 1,000 sq. ft. versus welded mesh in institutional buildouts. For architectural concrete repairs or historic brick substrate reinforcement, access ANSI-compliant embedment depth charts or utilize thermal imaging protocols to confirm monolithic curing—covered by 20-year efflorescence warranties validated per ASTM C1715 accelerated carbonation testing.

FAQ
1. What is expanded metal lath used for?
It is mainly used as a base for stucco or plaster on walls, ceilings, and soffits. The mesh provides excellent keying for cementitious materials.
2. Does your product meet U.S. and Canadian standards?
Yes. Our expanded metal lath complies with ASTM C847 and CSA standards, and is ICC-ES(5419) certified, ensuring approval for a wide range of North American construction projects.
3. Do you offer different types and weights?
Yes. We offer various rib profiles, mesh patterns, and weights such as 1.75 lbs, 2.5 lbs, and 3.4 lbs per sheet to suit different application needs.
4. What is your MOQ and lead time?
Our minimum order is 2 pallets (total 1,000 sheets, 500 sheets per pallet). Typical lead time is 15–20 working days, depending on order volume and requirements.
5. How is the product packaged for export?
We use standard palletized packaging for safe and efficient container loading and unloading. Custom labels and weather-resistant wrapping are also available upon request.
